The Bronx born Freddie Roach was first introduced to Blue Note listeners on Ike Quebec’s albums Heavy Soul and It Might As Well Be Spring and began his own run of leader dates with his excellent 1962 debut Down To Earth. The deeply soulful six-song set was a showcase of his nuanced, bluesy sound and his knack for writing thoroughly enjoyable original tunes like “De Bug” and “Althea Soon” that were ideal vehicles for this swinging four-piece band featuring Percy France on tenor saxophone, Kenny Burrell on guitar, and Clarence Johnston on drums.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis Blue Note Classic Vinyl Edition is stereo, all-analog, mastered by Kevin Gray from the original master tapes, and pressed on 180g vinyl at Optimal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTracklisting:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDown To Earth (1962)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA1 De Bug\u003cbr \/\u003eA2 Ahm Miz\u003cbr \/\u003eA3 Lujon\u003cbr \/\u003eB1 Althea Soon\u003cbr \/\u003eB2 More Mileage\u003cbr \/\u003eB3 Lion Down\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFreddie Roach (Hammond B3 organ);  Percy France (tenor sax); Kenny Burrell (guitar); Clarence Johnston (drums)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Freddie Roach","offers":[{"title":"OS","offer_id":46798144241918,"sku":"515535000","price":29.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0745\/4474\/2654\/files\/Freddie-Roach_Down-To-Earth_Blue-Note-Classic-Vinyl_s515535_o6990172_a553458_v13255705.74ada096.jpg?v=1747793821","url":"https:\/\/de-everything-jazz-prod.myshopify.com\/en-de\/products\/freddie-roach-down-to-earth","provider":"Store Mgmt","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
